Universe in My Palm, I Wish to Forge the Dao!

Deep within Ba Mountain, Temple of Wrath.

Red Lotus's life flame aura was preserved here. As the life flame flickered unsteadily, the faint vitality dancing within the blaze finally went out...

Upon learning of Red Lotus's death, countless great demons stood frozen in place, their hearts churning like stormy seas, utterly at a loss.

"How is that possible? His Highness Red Lotus actually lost to a human?"

"Too terrifying. This boy must not be allowed to live—we have to get rid of him!"

"What about the mineral vein? Are we going to lose?"

"The Divine Lord's contingency plan has been activated. We may not necessarily lose, but right now, the most important issue for us isn't victory or defeat, but... we should first think about how to calm Lord Burning Ash's incoming fury..."

At those words, the expressions of all the demons changed drastically.

Recalling Burning Ash's various brutal deeds in the past, they all began to worry about their own futures.

"Could we ask the Divine Lord to plead for us?"

"The Divine Lord is angry as well right now. Better not provoke him..."

For a time, the matter of the mineral vein was set aside. Compared with resources, the demons cared far more about their lives.

"Lord Burning Ash is still guarding the mineral vein in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Keep this matter hidden for now... Hide it for as long as we can."

One demon raised a question. "Doesn't Lord Burning Ash have Red Lotus's life flame over there?"

"...Then just wait to die."

Demon Mountain, Demon Nest.

Whoosh—

The instant the flames touched his body, Meng Chuan could no longer feel his physical form.

His physique seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving only his soul floating within the molten fire hell, enduring the burning.
